“Chad was so wonderful! He took great care of my goofy dog and of my house while I was away for several days, sending me really thoughtful updates and photos, too. Highly recommended!!”
“Morgan was so sweet and patient with our pup, who typically experiences some anxiousness. She had the magic touch to make her comfortable. Morgan communicated updates and shared photos, and made sure our girl was safe and happy. We will definitely work with her again!”
“Ben was amazing with my Rikki!! He did a great job sending pictures and updates!! He left the house tidy and neat. Rikki was clearly a happy boy when we got home! Ben is an incredible young man!! Will definitely be using Ben in the future!”
“Erica took really good care of our animals while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updated us daily. She also did an amazing job on giving our cat his medications. Would recommend and book again.”
“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”
About: Hello! I’m a long-time Westerville resident, working mom, and passionate animal caregiver. Because I live and work right here in the community, I can offer fast, flexible, and highly reliable drop-in care for your pets. I know our neighborhoods inside and out, meaning I spend less time commuting and more time focusing entirely on your pets. My Experience: I am currently a proud owner of two cats, so I completely understand the unique personalities and care needs of felines. Over the years, my hands-on animal experience has also included owning dogs and raising backyard chickens. Whether your dog needs a high-energy potty break, your cats need precise feeding and play, or your backyard flock needs their coop secured, I have the real-world experience to handle it safely. Why Choose Me: As a mom, safety, structure, and clear communication are second nature to me. I have excellent local references available upon request and will treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I provide detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins during every single drop-in visit so you never have to worry while you are away! I offer pet care on a part-time basis around my regular schedule, which gives me fantastic flexibility for drop-in visits! I have open availability most weekends and holidays—the exact times when you need a trusted neighbor the most. Because my schedule shifts weekly, just send me a message with your dates, and I will happily do my best to accommodate your pets! I offer drop-in care exclusively in your home to keep your pets safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Here is exactly how I care for your pets and home: Stick to Routines: I strictly follow your feeding, medication, and coop/potty schedules for cats, dogs, or chickens.Meticulous Cleanup: I scoop litter boxes or clean up waste during every visit and dispose of it outdoors. Respectful Companionship: I provide active play, gentle brushing, or quiet company based on your pet's unique personality. Home Security: I always double-check locks, and leave your house exactly as I found it. Daily Photos: I send quick text updates and photo check-ins during every visit for your peace of mind.
“Noah was an amazing dog sitter. Such a nice guy, he kept us informed of our two pups well being. He was able to stay with our pups during the night. As most of us are aware pups are needy like five year old children. Noah took care of their needs perfectly send photo updates. I think the dogs actually missed him when he left. We would definitely hire him again. Five stars.”
“Kora was wonderful. She was very communicative and our boys (two dogs and a cat) were all very well cared for. I would absolutely ask Kora back and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Samantha stayed with our two high maintenance Velcro pugs for 16 days. She was an incredible communicator (and photographer!) providing lots of updates and photos daily for us. She kept us in the loop on a minor health issue that our senior pup was having and even gave us a heads up that we’d be running out of medication in a few days. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will absolutely use Samantha again! Our dogs will be thrilled to have her back too!”
“Sheridan took care of all three pups exceptionally well. Her communication is appreciated and she clarifies any questions or concerns readily giving me a great peace of mind.”
“Janasha stayed at our home with our 2 dogs for 10 days while we were in Europe. She came over twice beforehand, once to meet them and another to go over everything just before the trip, and she was exactly what we were hoping to find in a dogsitter / housesitter. Janasha sent multiple daily updates, photos, videos, that gave us plenty of reassurance. She administered medication and followed detailed instructions for our 2 senior dogs. After a long flight home, we came back to a clean house, watered plants, and happy dogs! I highly recommend Janasha!”
“We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!”
“Second booking with Lauren was just as great as the first. She has a calming presence for my high energy pup. Lauren was responsive and sent great pics/updates. And she left my place cleaner than I left it! Wonderful experience.”
“Could not recommend Kaylynn more! She stayed at our home for a week and took exceptional care of our dogs (and house) while we were out of town. Her communication was great and we would not hesitate to use her in the future!”
“Well, Brittany did another fabulous job caring for my 3 special needs dogs in my home while I was vacationing in Iceland for 2 weeks. Thank you, Brittany! I'll be calling you again soon.”
“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minerva Park
It is unusual for us to have a trip planned and will only be away from home for one night. I wasn’t sure that Jamie would be able to do this, given that we usually have her stay for a week to ten days. Jamie was available, and glad to stay with our sweet dog just the one night. So, whether we need to go out of town for one or ten nights, we will always check first with Jamie to see if she can stay with Pepper. After all, Jamie is the best!
Kristen provides excellent house + pet sitting service!!! She was willing to execute a meet and greet which went swimmingly. She sent lots of pet pics/videos with commentary with the status of their stay. We had great peace of mind during a week long trip. They are at the top of our Rover list.
This was my first time having someone come to my home and sit our dogs while we were gone. I have two very anxious dogs, and after initial problems, my dogs eventually warmed up to their sitters. I appreciate their patience with Ava and Lucky very much and highly recommend their services.
Madalaina watched our three dogs (including 6-month-old puppy) while we were out of town for an extended weekend. She was very communicative regarding how they were doing and shared the cutest pictures! She took time to clarify expectations and planned arrival and departure. Additionally, she let us know when she was taking off and sincerely appreciate her excellent care of our home as well. Would highly recommend her services to others!
Abby and Stephen were wonderful and took such great care of our two large dogs! We don’t often travel without our fur babies because we are a bit extra as pet parents and it can be hard to find people who can watch multiple dogs, but they kept us updated and they were so happy the whole time. Thank you for such wonderful peace of mind while we were away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Minerva Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Minerva Park on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,514 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minerva Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Minerva Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Minerva Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Minerva Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
